Live From St. Louis – AALL Conference

I'm currently in St. Louis for the American Association of Law Libraries conference. There are a dozen or so Canadian law librarians here, plus a handful of our vendors, amongst the 3,000 delegates.

It has been exciting to meet a number of American fans of Slaw. And last night I attended the blogger meetup and met some people whose work I have been following, Bonnie Shucha who maintains the definitive list of law librarian bloggers and lawyer bloggers Matthew Homan and Dennis Kennedy. It was a thrill to meet these people whom I've been reading and corresponding with.

I haven't had a lot of time or web access to post to my own blog. For an up to date summary, instead listen to Check This Out!. Each evening Jim Milles is gathering a group of colleagues from diverse areas to talk about what we saw and learned in a daily wrap-up. Two episodes have been posted thus far.

I hope to have more to report at the end of the week.

Cheers,
Connie
